Now the pigs will say that I am a criminal and that I am very dangerous and should be shot on sight but that’s nothing but gangster’s logic because all those people seen the pigs trying to murder me so that the people know that I was defending my human right to self-defense.

One year after a devastating earthquake killed an estimated 222,000 people and left 1.5 million people homeless on January 12, 2010, Haitians continued to endure appalling living conditions amid a nationwide cholera outbreak, despite the largest humanitarian aid deployment in the world.

Now two years later, MSF is increasing hospital capacity in earthquake-affected areas as 500,000 people are still officially displaced and access to health care is nearly non-existent.

Alexander McCall Smith on the etiquette of ‘regifting.’

It is the perennial Christmas dilemma: how to deal with unwanted presents?

“For some, the idea of “re-gifting” those novelty socks and chocolate fondue sets is the height of bad manners. Others argue it is a kinder alternative to binning ghastly gifts or consigning them to the back of the cupboard for all eternity. Alexander McCall Smith, the author, has come up with some advice to guide people through the moral maze. According to the creator of the No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, giving away or even selling a rubbish present is perfectly acceptable as long as one waits a month to do so. Dispensing words of wisdom to his Twitter followers, McCall Smith wrote: “Christmas brings a major moral problem: what to do with unwanted gifts. Initial reaction: one must pretend to like them…”

Todmorden: A town where greenthumbs, not sticky fingers, prevail
The Daily Mail pays a visit to Todmorden, a quaint British town that’s littered with raised vegetable and herb gardens where residents can grow — and take — whatever they fancy.

The ethnically and economically diverse mill town of about 15,000 residents is home to Incredible Edible, an ambitious, agrarian-minded scheme that’s brought together an entire community under one common goal: to become completely self-sufficient in food by the year 2018.

“The day I’m killed,
my killer, rifling through my pockets,
will find travel tickets:
One to peace,
one to the fields and the rain,
and one to the conscience of humankind.

Dear killer of mine, I beg you:
Do not stay and waste them.
Take them, use them.
I beg you to travel.” — Samih al-Qasim

(one of the most famous Palestinian poets of our time.)
